Huma Abedin contributed only $175 to Anthony Weiner’s campaign to reclaim a City Council seat, which is considerably lower than the permissible $1,050. As a former confidante of Hillary Clinton and now engaged to Alexander Soros, Abedin’s financial support for Weiner appears limited, despite their shared responsibility for their son, Jordan. Political analysts suggest that the low amount reflects a strategic choice, possibly based on Weiner’s own solicitation or political dynamics at play as both individuals navigate their respective political landscapes.
"Huma gave a minimal investment to Anthony. She did what she had to do," said political consultant George Arzt, noting they have a son.
"For all we know, that's all he asked her for," election veteran election lawyer Jerry Goldfeder said of the $175 donation, which can be used to generate public matching funds.
"She could have given up to $1,050," revealing that the $175 contribution was significantly lower than the allowable limit.
Weiner suggested he only asked Abedin for $175 to qualify for matching public funds, indicating strategic planning behind the low donation.
